Haven't you heard about
The guy known as the cheater
He'll take your girl and then
He'll lie and he'll mistreat her

It seems every day now
You hear people say now

[CHORUS]

Look out for the cheater
Make way for the fool hearted clown
Look out for the cheater
He's gonna build you up
Just to let you down

All of you girls had better
Stay inside your door now
He'll hurt you once
Then turn around and
Hurt you some more now

While he's out betraying
You'll hear people saying

[Repeat CHORUS]

That cheater took
My baby away from me
Yes, and now, I don't mean maybe
I'll get her back, just wait and see
Wait and see

One of these days he'll find a girl
Who knows all about him
She's gonna break his carefree heart
And go on without him

And you'll hear thereafter
Above all the laughter

Tough luck for the cheater
Too bad for the fool hearted clown
Tough break for the cheater
Who used to build you up
Just to let you down

Tough luck for the cheater
Too bad for the fool hearted clown
Tough break for the cheater
Who used to build you up
Just to let you down
